PERFORATED SUPPORT FOR RECEIVING STUCCO AND OTHER PLASTERING MATERIALS.

Patented Jan. 5, 1915.

Application filed November 15, 912. Serial No. 731,618.

To all whom it may concern citizen of the United States of America, re-

siding in the city and county of Denver and State of Colorado, have invented a new and useful Perforated Support for Receiving Stucco and other Plastering Materials, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a new perforated support for receiving stucco and other-plastering materials used in architectural work for partitions, cornice interior finish, and decorative plaster work, and the objects of my invention are: First, to provide a support for receiving stucco and other plastering materials, that is provided with such an open mesh surface that the stucco plaster and other plastering material will flow readily through its meshes and clench to its opposite side when applied thereto. Second, to provide a support for stucco and other plastering materials that may be made of any suitable form, and that may contain in its surface any number of stucco or other plastering mortar entering'apertures, and which may be of any form or shape of outline and that may be made in any arrangement relative to the size and shape of the plaster receiving support desired, and that may be'made of and be composed of any suitable plastic or other suitable material, or that may be made of any suitable compound or any suitable combination of plastic and other suitable materials, and reinforced with wirenetting or wire screen material of any suitable material which is embedded in the supports.

. My invention consequently contemplates a perforated stucco or other plastering material receiving perforated support of any form or shape and of any character, and one that is preferably reinforced by wire netting, although if desired for cer-' tain kinds of work this fetaure may be omitted. Y

I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of one of my improved stucco plaster supports, showing the preferred shape and arrangement of mortar clenching apertures, which, like the support, are of rectangular shape. Fig. 2 is a cross section through a partition showing a. channel iron stud with a "mortar or stucco plaster receiving support against its opposite sides, and with coats of plastering material applied-to the outside surfaces of the support, and showing how the mortar Fig. 4 illustrates my improved plastering material supports applied to wooden studding and shows a narrow support partially covered with plastering material on one side and a wider support covered with plastering material on the other side of the wooden joists. Fig. 5 illustrates an enlar'gedfragmentary piece of asupport in longitudinal section, showing the arrangement of the wire netting around its mortar receiving apertures and its arrangement within the support when molded therein. Fig. 6 illustrates an end elevation in section, of a piece of plastering material support, and shows the ends of the wires of the wire netting in section in the position inv which they are molded in the supports; and Fig. 7 illustrates a fragment of a support and of a piece of the wire netting in perspective.

Similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

I have illustrated, however, but one shape of support, and preferably illustrate a thin rectangular shaped support 2 as shown in Fig. 1. This support is perforated with preferably rectangular shaped apertures 3- arranged in vertical and horizontal rows, which arrangement enables the supports to be cut or broken along the lines of the apertures, I preferably mold in the support, wire netting 4 that has arectangular form of mesh 5, of a size enough larger than the apertures in the support to fit close to the inner edges of the walls of the rectangular apertures of the support and still be molded wholly within the body of the support, so

.that they will not'come loose from the body as to size 'andposition of the square wire meshes relative to the walls of the apertures is made, as it is sometimes necessary to cut the supports into pieces to fit into corners,

I coves, panels, angles, and for cornices' and moldings'and other interior stucco and plas- Der work. 4

My improved. stucco plastering supports are preferably molded in suitable molds In which the wire netting is placed in position to be embedded in the soft stucco plastering material as it is poured into the mold. These supports can, however, bemade by a a system of pressure such as by, the pressure of plungers or rollers, it being only necessary to ,providemolds with core portlons that arejadaptd to form the apertures in the supports and that are arranged to support the wire netting around these cores in the proper position to be molded in the portion of the'support.

My invention stucco, plastic an plastering cements and mortars and other .p astering materials that is strong enough to receive severe knocks,

and rough handling, without destructive or;

detrimental breakage, and one that can be readily cut, trimmed and fitted into small,

irregular shaped'places, and that his per-1 I forated to allow the plastering material to flow through it and to overflow around the opposite side edges of the mortar clenching rovides a support apertures in it and clench permanently,

. firmly and strongly enough to it to carry any thicknessfand weight of mortar it is desired toplaster on'it, without any danger of falling or cracking off from vibratory or trembling actions or any ordinary water or' heat action which would not be severe enough to disintegrate the stucco plastering material itself.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire'to secure by Letters I Patent, is:

1. In a supporting member for receiving stucco plastering materials,,the combination of a moldedmember provided with rows of plaster-receiving apertures, with a reinforci'ng member embedded therein, comprising double rows of wires lying between said apertures in said molded member, the wires of said rows being adjacent saidaperture.
